Irrational fears I have

I was just reading an amusing, "What is your irrational fear?" thread on my fave website and realized how many hilariously irrational fears I have.

The first and possibly most ridiculous is my pool shark fear. For some reason I cannot swim in pools alone because I am constantly concerned that giant blood-thirsty sharks will burst forth from the pool drains and consume me alive. It's strange since I love swimming in the ocean and don't worry at all about the sea creatures. I feel that ocean sharks are benevolent and peaceful. 

For some reason I consider this to be a perfectly rational fear but I am also terrified about the possibility of a zombie uprising. I believe this is due to my awesome father allowing me to watch Return of the Living Dead when I was like 10. Possibly younger. I can be around cemeteries in the daytime but at night- hells no. 

I have always had a needle phobia but, like the zombiephobia, I am also pretty sure this is a very rational fear. 

I am terrified of surgery and I just plain hate going to the doctors. 

I am sort of scared of heights, I am fine in airplanes but at any sort of ledge or cliff, even with a sturdy railing, I worry that my mind or body will malfunction and I'll just fling myself off. 

I have recurring dreams about tornados and my teeth falling out which apparently is more common than I thought. 

I am always worried I'll get hit by lightning during bad storms. I freak out if I'm outside. 

I am also often concerned someone is watching me from the street when I'm in my bedroom. 

Wow, so I guess I am a HUGE pussy.
